Korean haddock soup is one of my favorite soups. I learned to make it from my mom. When I moved to America, I missed my mom’s soup badly. I didn’t know what kind of fish to buy for this soup. One day, I found some frozen haddock at Walmart and tried this soup with it. It was almost the same taste as the fish used in my mom’s soup, so I was very happy to find it. Since that time, I often buy haddock and make this soup. I’m glad to share this recipe with you. Thanks!
